Chelsea gets fitness boost against Roma as Ngolo Kante returns to the side.

Antonio Conte is happy to get a good news from the medical team after reports of Kante’s availability for the Champions league tie tonight.

Chelsea can move five points clear in Group C with a win at Stadio Olimpico, where both of Roma’s league defeats have come this term.

Kante has been sidelined for almost a month with a hamstring injury sustained on France duty, while Drinkwater only made his Premier League debut for the club as a late substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Bournemouth.
